Have you heard Ken and Barbie was broken up?

This video shared by my friend today, I was shocked and found it interesting. Let’s have a look on this video.

Ken was interviewed by Greenpeace and learned that Barbie's scandalous deforestation habit. He cannot accept it and broke up with her. Ken also staged a protest at Mattel headquarters in USA to announce to public that they were over.  

This video was created by Greenpeace. It is interesting, isn’t it? But it is not all about fun, but also deforestation. Greenpeace wants to tell Mattel, the manufacturer of Barbie, stop using paper packaging for wraping Barbie from Indonesia’s most notorious rainforest destroyer Asia Pulp and Paper (APP).

The rainforests in Indonesia are home to some of the last tiger, orabg-utans and elephants. APP destroyed the critical wildlife habitat and carbon-rich rainforests to make the throw away toy packaging. We do not have rights to destroy the rainforests because of the nice packaging. 

I hope Mattel stops using APP. Otherwise Ken won’t forgive Barbie, as same as the customers and me!!!!

What's a creative ads come from our HK Government!

How many of you have seen this creative advertisment on TV??? If not, I strongly recommend you to spend few mintues to watch it, which is a creative and full of Hong Kong culture video. "Make the world, make a GREEN world".

You're not expected this advertisment is come from Environment Bureau!

Because of the video, it attracted me to visit their website: Green_HK

Then I found more and more materials and information of the environment protection from Government. They have carried out a lot of internet advertising campaign. To reach out to a wider community, the TV announcements, radio announcements, ringtone and video have been added into their website for review, also an on-line computer game has been developed to encourage the public to think and act green in their daily lives. Click to the game page.


Improving our environment is not a job just for either the Government or green groups. It is a business for each and everyone of us. Action makes a difference. We all should take part to help make a change.  A better environment can be more attainable if it becomes a way of life.  We must start forming new habits.  A simple act in our daily living can help conserve energy and reduce waste production or generation.
